House approach: auteur photography, cinematic eye, reading emotions. I adapt to your day's tempo — ceremony, cocktail, dinner, party. Posed portraits as a complement, but the essential stays sensitive.
Château de La Tour is one of the venues where the art of all-inclusive weddings is pushed furthest in the Oise — welcome, menu, beverages, floral decoration, accommodation, everything is settled. My role as a photographer is all the simpler: I can focus on the emotion, the setting takes care of the rest.
Couples covered at this venue: Sophie (October 2021), Emilie & Matthieu (June 2025), Vanessa (July 2020).
Stories from couples we covered here: Emilie & Matthieu. Ce fut un couple fan de Photo. Vicky, mon équipe, c’est vraiment bien entendu. Ils ont su se montrer volontaire pour faire de cette journée leur journée.
Technical particularity of the venue: Faire des photos à partir du jardin pour avoir le château de la tour juste derrière nos Photographe, on apprécie ce type de clichés
What I love about this place: Ce que j’aime dans ce lieu, c’est la facilité de faire une belle photo en une prise.
Advice for future couples: C’est un domaine qui est super bien exposé. Niveau soleil. Il faut néanmoins bien consulter l’équipe du château pour ne pas faire d’erreurs niveau de l’heure de la cérémonie pour éviter d’exposer les invités trop longtemps au soleil.
On the photo technical side: Énormément d’endroits, notamment l’étage, le jardin, l’escalier, les intérieur ou encore la devanture pour y faire des photos exceptionnelles
Best season: Je dirais mai juin pour les fleurs et la lumière douce qui arrive en fin de journée
Team note: Rahim l’un de mes Photographe, à éviter que la pièce était ne tombe. C’est une petite anecdote, mais elle me filait tout particulièrement comme quoi notre rôle de prestataire ne s’arrête pas là.
What a couple says: L’œil de Mounir a transformé la vision qu’ils avaient au château
Château de La Tour suits every wedding format: civil ceremony at the local town hall, outdoor secular ceremony, religious ceremony if a nearby church is available, dinner and evening on site. Privatization of the venue guarantees narrative continuity from morning to late night.
Photo + video duo: I work alone (photo OR video) or in a duo with my collaborator for complete coverage with zero interference — no overlapping framing, no parasitic double-light, synchronized delivery.
Delivery & options: private online gallery within 1 month, 3 to 7-minute video teaser delivered within 1 month, long version up to 1h available on request. Fine art prints, wedding album from €150 and other options on quote. Day-before presence available on request.

Frequently asked questions
What poses should we plan for a couple photo session?
None, and that is deliberate. Learned poses show in the photos: couples look like they are holding a position rather than living a moment. We give simple directions, walk, talk to each other, turn around, and we photograph what happens between two instructions. That is exactly what a pre-wedding session is for, included in our packages: you get used to the lens when nothing is at stake, so on the wedding day that step is already behind you.
Do you do an engagement session before the wedding?
Yes — optional 1.5h session in a location chosen with you (urban exterior, nature, meaningful place). It's a chance to get used to the camera so the wedding day feels more natural.
How many photos are delivered on average?
Between 600 and 1200 retouched photos depending on coverage duration. All sharp, sorted chronologically, delivered in high resolution via a private downloadable gallery.
How do you behave during the ceremony?
Discreetly and silently — cameras in electronic shutter mode (no sound), movement only at key moments (entrance, exit, ring exchange). No flash, no interruption.
How much does a wedding photographer cost?
In France, the range runs from €1,500 to €3,000 for a full day. Our packages start at €1,080, including the private online gallery, retouched photos and usage rights. What moves a quote is not the number of photos but the hours of coverage, whether a second shooter is present, and the deliverables: printed album, pre-wedding session, video alongside. Our prices are published on the pricing page, with no mandatory quote step.
